Interior panels 2 hrs

The past few nights I have worked a little at a time on the interior panels. Just about have them done

Elevator control horn and skins. 1 hrs

Today I worked on creating a jig for my elevator control horn, cleaning up the round parts, and welding the horn. I also cut the blanks for my elevator skins. I filed and cleaned the edges with scotch brite. I will take them to work tomorrow to bend the two pieces.

Elevator control horn 1 hr

Tonight I worked on the two control horns and fitting them to the shaft that hooks to the elevator. Very tedious getting everything lined up and per the plans I am satisfied with my assembly in the welding jig and plan on welding it tomorrow.

Axles, wheels, misc. 8 hrs

Today I got a lot of work done. I mount ears my axles, and caliper brackets on the landing gear. Then I packed my wheel bearing and mounted the wheels on the axles. I am using the axles and wheels that I bought from someone. I cleaned the all up like new and I decided to order new brake pads. Once I turned the fuselage over, I cut and clecoed my floor panel. I also cut an oval hole in the f6 bulkhead for my should harnesses to pass through. I install a stiffening angle on the backside of the f6 bulkhead and another angle between the longerons to attach the shoulder harness to. Got a good days work in today

Bottom center skin and supports 6 hrs

Today I worked on the bottom center section and floor supports. I also removed the landing gear and installed the bottom skin then reinstalled the landing gear. I installed countersunk rivets between the gear and bottom skin.

Landing gear 1 hr

Yesterday I received my landing gear. I had been waiting for months to order it and I finally came across some money and pulled the trigger. I tore the cardboard off of it last night and today when I got home from work I drilled and installed the four 5/16 bolts. I had to flip it over to catch a peek. Tomorrow I will take my bottom skin and bend the 1/2 flange that goes in front of the gear then remove the gear and start fitting the bottom center section skin and floor supports.

Arm rests. 2 hrs. 374 total

Today I rolled both of my armrests at work and when I got home I trimmed and installed one of them. I am going to wait until I fab my forward interior panels to drill the holes that go through both. I went flying tonight and got a nice photo of the sunset. Perfect night
